Make Koolfog Misting Systems A Part Of Your Outdoor Dining Strategy |

Sacramento, CALIF. , AUGUST 7, 2020 - Koolfog outdoor
misting systems can impact your bottom line by cooling outdoor dining spaces
with custom designs to seat more guests comfortably. The ever-evolving pandemic
has kicked the food industry, literally, to the curb and outdoor dining real
estate is becoming more valuable than ever. However, moving your restaurant
business outside is not as easy as it may seem, especially, when staff and
guests are subjected to the elements. With seasonal temperatures rising, it is
important as well as a healthy strategy, to keep people cool and comfortable.
Outdoor Misting Systems Have Become Critical to the
Bottom Line
Outdoor misting systems can offer staff and guests a
refreshing dining experience on patios, terraces, parklets, balconies,
courtyards, and new realized spaces while they enjoy a well-deserved outing.
Adding to a restaurant’s ability to fill more seats, there are a variety of
custom solutions to accommodate different architecture and structural
requirements for an optimum environment.
According to Daniel Phelps, General Manager and a member of
the LG Prime Steakhouse family of restaurants, “Due to Covid-19, we have
focused our reopening efforts on creating a comfortable patio environment and I
would say that installing Koolfog’s outdoor misting system has been imperative
to maintaining our business operations. Our patio business has more than
tripled and with repeat customers, we have the confidence that we can offer an
optimal dining experience. “
Outdoor Misting Systems Set the Tone for Operating Al
Fresco
While many restaurants are pivoting to repurposing spaces,
there is also concern that diners will not benefit from the same brand
experience they are used to. While most patrons understand the havoc this
pandemic has brought to the foodservice industry, restaurateurs want to
maintain the level of quality and service their customers have come to expect.
Creating comfort and providing excellent customer service is
the foundation that Koolfog is built on. Delivering the highest quality outdoor
misting systems to all businesses, both large and small, locally and
nationally, is what we do best. That’s why our high-pressure misting systems
are designed with comfort, durability, and performance in mind. Outdoor misting
systems not only reduce patio heat but they are a tremendous visual marketing
tool to let customers know you are open. Guests are drawn to sensory experiences
and dining out under the misters reaches all of the senses.
• People can see that a restaurant is open when the mist is
on.
• They can identify that the patio is open and providing a safe dining
experience outdoors.
• They can feel the light touch of mist creating a physical response to its
cooling effect.
• Foodies can enjoy the taste and smell of an excellent meal in a relaxed
environment.
• Guests can hear the subtle, calming, rhythms of a fine-tuned outdoor misting
system.
The idea of creating a fully comprehensive experience is
something that Sommer Peterson, restaurateur, and owner of Shangri La in Fair
Oaks, California, has built her reputation on. “I love to create environments and
design experiential spaces that go beyond the traditional dining establishment
fare. Shangri La is my vision of an urban escape, a place to fully engage and
immerse oneself in a ‘happy place’. With the pandemic raging, keeping customers
and staff healthy and happy is most important. I can’t control the outdoor
weather, but with outdoor patio misters, I can off-set the heat. Kind of like
climate control for outside. It’s as essential as an indoor AC.”
How Does an Outdoor Misting System Work?
Using a Koolfog high-pressure pump, and stainless steel
misting lines, a misting system works to atomize water that is delivered to
specialty nozzles to create ultra-small droplets that fill the air. These
droplets instantly interact with their surrounding environments to absorb heat
and cool the air as the water evaporates. This streamlined process takes effect
within moments of activation and can be designed to cool the surrounding area
efficiently and scaled to specific spaces.
Restaurants Benefit from Koolfog’s Outdoor Misting System
Solutions
Pivoting to an outdoor dining service definitely has its
challenges but installing an outdoor misting system can directly impact the
economic resilience of a restaurant. Restaurants require a return on investment
realized in repeat customers as well as increased utilization of valued outdoor
space. Misters can reduce environmental heat, visually soften an urban
environment as well as add to a garden setting. A cool outdoor dining space can
benefit a restaurant brand not just during a pandemic but for years to come.
